Police in Hertfordshire used Tasers on children on dozens of occasions last year. Photo: Radar Police in Hertfordshire recorded using Tasers on children on dozens of occasions last year, figures reveal. Home Office figures show Hertfordshire Constabulary drew Tasers on children aged under 18 on 48 occasions in 2019-20, up from 30 the previous year. Officers fired a Taser four times, although none of those involved under-11s. The figures count the number of times each officer involved in an incident used the device rather than the number of separate incidents or how many children were involved. The age recorded is that perceived by the officer.
